I have no interest in an Indy 5 if Spielberg AND Ford don’t return

[SLAM!]

This is an opinionated statement, but if the Indiana Jones franchise is to continue forward, then it is time for a new director to helm it. I'm very excited to see what James Mangold can do.

[MrGlass2]

Maybe franchises shouldn't go on forever.

Have to say I'm surprised by some of the reactions to Spielberg not making this when the last one (which was made by him) was widely considered a dud. I assume he'll still be staying on as producer.

I can't speak for anyone else but I personally think that KOTCS is perfectly ok movie. What bugs me are all these comments about passing the torch to "new voices" and implying that they'll continue to make more of these.

 

Now I like a lot of Mangold's movies, but he is a middle aged journeyman director whose last three movies were an Oscar-bait biopic, a Wolverine sequel, and another Wolverine sequel.

 

Not bad movies by any means I must add, but lets be real. He wasn't hired to bring an exciting new voice to the franchise. He was picked because he would shoot the movie on time, on budget, and wouldn't rock the boat.

 

:Edit: I should stress that I don't want this to be what happens, I truly hope he makes a great movie with a unique take on the material. I'm just not holding my breath.

Lol although I think Mangold is a good replacement, this isn't an upgrade. If this was purely about the action sequences and spectacle (wouldn't mind if we got some action sequences like the one from Spielberg's own Tintin), I'd say James Wan would come close to an upgrade

no

Yes, because the only reason anyone ever gives for saying why they’re interested in a film or not is to stick it to the big corporation.  
 

This totally isn’t a forum meant to discuss films and why or why you don’t care to see them

Yeah Spielberg hasn't made a great crowd pleasing blockbuster in years. I like Mangold as a choice. Spielberg should make more movies like Bridge of Spies

The last one still was a lot of fun, looked amazing, and the action sequences were top notch. Gimme more of that schlocky, insane, and unique shit. I'd rather take that than the "dad" stuff that Mangold makes. I'm pretty sure Mangold was brought in to JJ the movie which is not what I really want.

Ready Player One just made over half a billion dollars a bit less than two years ago. Tintin was also also an extremely fun ride. The last time Mangold made a proper PG-13 blockbuster movie was The Wolverine which was an absolute bore.

Wan can adventurous, over the top action better than Mangold so nah. 

 

Honestly forget even Wan, get this one to be directed by Gore Verbinski. He does a great job at capturing the Spielbergian tone too and his action sequences are bonkers in the best way possible.

Gore Verbinski sounds perfect
